= API =

* '''[http://slicer.org/doc/html/classvtkSlicerApplicationLogic.html vtkSlicerApplicationLogic]''' provides some convenient functions allowing to obtain the share directory associated with a given module filepath.

* Note also that if ''vtkSlicerConfigure'' is included the macros ''Slicer_CLIMODULES_SUBDIR'', ''Slicer_QTLOADABLEMODULES_SUBDIR'' and ''Slicer_QTSCRIPTEDMODULES_SUBDIR'' will be available.

* Application settings (including the search path for modules/extensions) are stored in a ''.ini'' file. The location of the file depends on the OS:
** Linux + Mac OS X: ''~/.config/www.na-mic.org/Slicer.ini''
** Windows: ''C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\NA-MIC\Slicer.ini''
